About Me

CURRENT MISSION(s)

Finding hilarious things in life.
Make the world better... Somehow.

ABOUT ME

Hi!

As a traveler a love seeing new places from an insider/local point of view, and really getting to experience everyday life and culture.
As a surfer I very much appreciate a calm and cosy environment, and a generous, honest, welcoming host. I am grateful to be a guest in someones home and I respect privacy.

I teach music part time at a music school and play and perform music.
Whenever I don´t perform or teach I love to experience art, meditate, do yoga, go for a run, relax and watch series and movies, read, play games and travel.
In between these activities I need my daily time of "nothingness", meaning doing absolute nothing! What a thrill that is, to be able to do.

FAVORITE QUOTES:

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” - Brené Brown

"Dont make the classic smart persons mistake, thinking no one is smarter than you." - (from the movie 'Limitless')

"Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship.
It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate 'other.'" - Eckhart Tolle

"People like to make some form of judgements in their life, a kind of a sense of grounding of themselves. But all these forms of judgement of whether you accept something or don´t accept something, these externalized things really has to do with acceptance of self and of others. So its not about being open to an object thats made out of porcelain or glass or a certain image, at the end of the day it all comes down to acceptance of other people." - Jeff Koons

"Growing old gracefully is one of the sternest tests that life sets us. Weather your a building being restored, or a human being thinking of a face lift, its important to be good at aging. We live in a world that worship the new, the instant, the young, and has little time for the old. But art has always known that time is a friend, not an enemy. That old things have a beauty which new things can never have. Its a beauty thats been earned." -Waldemar Januszczak (from the documentary "Ugly beauty")

"Staying in my own business is a full time job" - Byron Katie

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore and travel in a local and cheaper way. Also I think CS is a wonderful concept, that makes me trust the world more. Hopefully CS users will keep having safe and good experiences.
